What is gacutil.exe. Where do we store assemblies ?..

Answer / narayansahu

gacutil is a toll that will list, install, and uninstall
assemblies in the GAC.

Assemblies are of two types: application private and
shared. The default is application private and only one
application uses them. These are the assemblies that are in
the application folder. A shared assemblies is meant to be
used by more than one application. It has a globally unique
name (called a "strong name") and it must be defined in the
GAC. gacutil will list, install, and uninstall assemblies
in the GAC.
